Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter of January 21, 1932, requesting information in regard to soldiers of the Revolution.
The data contained herein are obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, W. 22981 , based upon the service of David Dunbar in the Revolution.
He was born November 20, 1757, at Scituate, Massachusetts.
While living in Scituate, Massachusetts, he enlisted May 1, 1775, and served eight months as private in Captain Samuel Stockbridge's Company in Colonel Heath's Massachusetts Regiment. He enlisted January 1, 1776, and served one year as private in Captain Joshua Jacobs's Company in Colonel John Bailey's Massachusetts Regiment and was in the battles of Throgs Point and White Plains. He enlisted May 1, 1777, and served eight months as private in Captain Nathaniel Jarvis' Company in Colonel Henry Jackson's Regiment.
He was allowed pension on his application executed July 15, 1819, at which time he was living in Penobscot, Hancock County, Massachusetts, which was later Maine.
He died March 6, 1841, at Penobscot, Maine.
The soldier's second wife (name of first not stated) was Elizabeth Orn or Horn who was born at Old York, York County, May 19, 1775. They were married February 18, 1793.
On account of the Revolutionary War service of David Dunbar, his widow, Elizabeth, was allowed pension on her application executed August 2, 1843, at which time she was living in Penobscot, Maine.

David and Elizabeth Dunbar had the following children: Charles, born June 10, 1793, Elisha, born April 1, 1795, and Reuben, born February 5, 1798. Said children were born in Penobscot, Maine District.
In 1819, one Jesse Dunbar was living in Scituate, Massachusetts, aged fifty-nine years, but his relation to the soldier was not given.
The Revolutionary War records of this office fail to afford any information in regard to a Joshua Thomas who married Mercy Barstow and lived in Waldoboro, Maine.
In order to make a search of the Revolutionary War records for a particular soldier named Ebenezer Hall it is essential that you furnish as much as possible of the following data as means of identification: approximate dates of birth and death, places of residence at enlistment and after service and first name of widow.
Very truly yours,

Bureau of Pensions of Rev. Sailors and Soldiers -
Dear sirs -
Would you kindly look up for me if there were two Joshua Thomas who served in the Revolution. We have had a record of the first one. If there was a second would you kindly send his record of pension, also the children. I believe he moved from Duxbury, Mass. to Waldoboro, Maine. I think he married Mercy Barstow.
Also would like a record of PENSION of Ebenezer Hall of Matinicus, Maine, and the children.
Also of David Dunbar , who received a pension and died in 1839, aged eighty two. He enlisted in Rangers in 1774 - following April reported in Col. John Bayley's Rgt. - home on sick leave - later assigned Capt. Stockbridge Co. In 1777 shipped on Brig Washington - taken prisoner on British frigate Blonde - taken to Halifax - released in Nov. His children by a second wife, Elizabeth Orne, were Ruben, Chas. Bennet, Elisha, Margaret, Sarah, - and Jean. In the Mass. Sailors and Soldiers of Rev. there are several mentioned. This is the family history passed down and given to me and I wish to verify the right David. Is this correct?
" David Dunbar , seaman on list of prisoners sent from Halifax to Boston Sept. 30, 1778, as returned by Thomas Bayley's commissary of prisoners.
Sincerely -
Mrs. Alice W. Karl,
50 Granite Street,
Rockland, Maine.
